Evidently the Exclusion Act Does Not Keep Out the Chinese. WERE NOT Girls Who Said They Were Slaves ent Back Instead of Being Used in Court. WITYESSES WANTED. For six montbs a Chinese slave girl has been trying to escape from bondage and last night, through the assistance of the Methodist Mission and the officers of tbe Enreka Society for the Protection of Children, she succeeded. She is now one of the happiest inmates oi the home of the mission on Washington sireet, and tells a story that should be heard by all those who so persistently deny thst siavery exists in San Francisco. Three years ago the girl was brought from China a slave and entered this port | without the intervention of Government officials. She said that she simply to!d that she had been born bere and there was no effort made to stop her. Since that time she has been kept in a vile house on St. Louis alley, and has received the asual treatment accorded to slaves by their brutal task masters. She says she has been beaten and otherwise ill-treated whenever the receipts from her emplo ment fell below the amount that owners thought she should have secured. For six montns she has been trying to escape and during that time she has alter- | her The River Steamer H. C.

Last February word was received at the mission-house that the girl was desirous ofescaping and arrangementswere made to giv: berassistance,butasit was well known tbat failure meant death to the girl the greatest care was exercised in order not to excite suspicion of her owner. Qa this dict of | account no attempt counld be made untit | those who were to form the rescue party were absolutely certain of suce and the result was that no appointment ever came toa head until last night, A week ago yesterday it was decided to make the attempt, but when the rescue party reached the alley 1t was founa that the owner of the den had received word that trouble place was closed, locked and barre. the atterapt bad to be postponed. day the mau who was the intermediary between wne girl and the mission went to the home, with tears in his eyes, and told that the girl, with tne other four slaves in the house, had been taken to the base- ment and there in the dark had been beszten and tortured in order to make them confess which one was trying to get away. As confession meant death to the poor girl nothing was learned by their owner, and finally they were returning to their rooms, but the hour of opening the Louse was changed from § to 1l in the evening and spies were placed ai the mouth of St. Louis alley, on Jackson street, and Nun Kuk aliey, on Dupont street. Saturday night another ineffectual ef- | fort was made to rescue the girl, and Sun- day, she, with all the other inmates, was ken to a famiiy house at 826 Clay sireet and confined in a room prepared for them there. The girl managed to get word out, and Secretary Holbrook learned that lot- tery tickets were sold at the place, and as warrant could be issued to search the 3 for girls a raid was made for lottery iets and the Chinatown squad entered the house. They went directly to the room where tha girls were confined and the place was surrounded. As noue of the party knew Lake of the mission was sent for and pointed out two girls, who were taken by the cofficers to the mission-house. As usual, wnen a rescue is made, the girls struggled as long as they were in sight of their owners, but when they found tkat they were safe they showed that they were plad to get away. Dai Lin, the girl who has been trying so long to get away, told her story to a re- porier of THE CALL last night, and while talking she seemed almost overcome with joy bzcause of her escape. She said that i been beaten often, and that when the kwai po found some one was trying to escave she toox away ail of thelr cloth- ing except just what was necessary for them to wear. She said that afier the | raid Saturday night the girls were first taken to a celiar and kept in aarkness while the ofticers were at the door, and afterward they were given a fine supper and treated with the greatest considera- tion. When asked concerning slaves in China- town, she said there were many who would be glad to get away. She said 1t waus very easy for Chine.e girls to get into this country. The officials did not make any trouble for them if they said they had been born bere. She said that five girls came in at one time, and that when they got here two of them found that they would not have tostay 1f they refused to tell the stories that had been taught them, and they were brave enough to say that they were slaves and had not been born here. The other three girls told the story as they had been advised, and, notwith- standing the fact that the two brave ones were thereand could have been used as witnesses, the three were permitted to land, while the others were sent back to China. _There was much rejoicing at the mis- sion-house last night over the rescue and also over the fact that little Kwong Ho, the girl who wes rescued from the Cham- ber of Trangnillity, had been placed in the Children’s Hospital. The missionaries and nurses made up the amount neces- sary for the first month’s treatment and ivis hoped that other charitably inclined veople will come forward with donations for her support while undergoing treat- ment, Fees in the Jumes Estate. In the estate of the late Dr. Charles A. James a supplemental report has been filed by the Public Administrator. The estate 1s put down 8t $31,702 22. The Public Administrator's fees are calculated 10 be $1356 81, and the fee for the Administralor's alloriey is rug- gestea at $1500.

The Grady left Astoria last Tuesday about 5:30 p. M., and since that time has been the sport of the waves, Oa several | occasions she had to drift with the wind | and tide. Speaking of the voyage, Cap- tain Denny said: “On the river the old boat can make 14, knots an hour, but of course on the ocean | we did not average 7 knots, The boat’s | bows were boarded over, and thus the Off Cape Blanco we ran into a heavy sea | and were blown back to Crescent City. The waves broke over the stern, and as the paddle would not work I had to put the Grady about. She rolled a good deal | and the deckhouses became loose, but it | will not take much to put herin guudl shape again. “When off Mendocino a big sea broke | abosrd and not only broke several stan- chions, but also broke some of the plank- ing. That sea cost the vessel at least $100. I bad a composite crew. Captain P, Edwards, a teacher of navigation in Port- land, came along with me, and for a chief engineer I bhad E. Talman, who was on watch continuously for three days. He was ably assisted by First Asflsxan:i Engineer Grundell. Then we had a cook and « steward and five deckhands, Of | the latter one was an opera singer, another a fiddler, a t ird abanjo player, the fourth a bootblack and the fifth an all-round fraud, The fiduler was the only worker in the crowd and he earned his wages. Dur- ing calm nights we had ail the music we wanted, but as the gang pines for the Alaskan gold fields 1 don't suppose they will ever make a trip up the Sacramento with me."” The Grady will go on the Merchants’ drydock for an overhauling, afier which | she will be put in the fruit trade on the Oakland-Sacramento River route. The Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s Orizaba arrived froma M xican ports vesterday., The vessel was delaved at| Ensenada owing to the suicide of E iward Reed, a commercial traveler. The d-ceased | | | joined the vessel at Guaymas, and when nearing Ensenada became very nervous. In the same room with him was & man named Greevy who is partially deaf anda | very heavy sleeper. The latter did not hear any movement from his berth-mate, and was nearly paralyzed with terror when he awoke in the morning and saw Reed hanging from the crossbeam in the state- room. When the steamer reached Ensenada the remains were turned over to the rela- tives of tne dead man, but Mr. Greevy was held, because the aunthorities could not understand how a man could hang him- self and his roommate know nothing about it. Capisin von Helms went into court and explained the circumstances, at the same time pointing out that the trag- edy took place on the high seas on an American ship and that, therefore, the Mexican courts had no jurisdiction. The Mexicans gave way and Greevy was re- leased and arrived here on the Orizaba. Captain L. Olson, late chief officer of the Umatilla, has been appointed masier of the steamer Alexander Duncan. John Morris, an employe of the creosote works, fell intv one of the vats yesterday and was badly burned about the left side and arm. He was treated at the City- front Receiving Hospital and Jater on was able to be moved to his home, STORE-WINDOW THIEVES, Two Bold Buiglars Operating With Flypaper. Complaints have been received at police headquarters from grocerymen about the depredations of two men who break their windows and steal anything they can lay their bands upon. The thieves use flypaper, which they press against the window glass, deaden- ing the sound of the breaking glass. Itis then an easy matter to thrust an arm through the hole in the glass and abstract what they prefer. The articles selected have been bottles of liquor, principally whisky and champagne. Among the stores visited during the past week have been those uf Woebeck & Von - Staden, Eilis and Lesvenworth reets; john Clausen, Geary and Taylor streets, and John Stelling, 421 Geary street. The thieves visit the stores in the ear'y hours of the morning. cial instructions have been given the policemen on night duty to keep a sharp lookout for the two men, » good descrip- tion of them having been ovtained. ————— THE CRYSTAL SWIMMING BATHS.

When the names of eight applicants for places on the evening substitute list were presented a few days ago Director Ham- mond vehemently opposed the name of M. Young, and said that if her name was insisted on he would tell how she bad offered him a consideration for a place. | This, of course, took the committee that presented the names, which consisted of | Messrs. Drucker, Gallagher, Waller and | Barrington, 21l aback, and the name was | withdrawn. Then Mrs. Young was senl[ for, and sheexplained why she had spoken | to Director Ha mmond and what was said | on both sides. i According to her story she had not of- | after receiving Director Hammond's re- | fusal to aid her bad asked him if there | was no consideration that would cause | him to change his mind. Here is Mrs. Young’s explanation. “I called on Director Himmond to see whether he was favorable to my chances | of getting a place. After I had explainea | my qualifications and added something about my ability he said: *‘This is not a question of ability or qualifications. They don’t count. We | want these places for friends.” “I never talked to so extraordinary a man, it seems to me, when I think over that interview. He saw nothing in my qualifications that would help me to a teach r's position and seemed to resent He said that he thought that all the places should be given to California rirl ‘Then [ thougnt I would see what he meant by saying tbat the places were wanted for iriends. I asked him whether any consideration of influence or anything | else would cause bim to change his mind. I suppose he construed this into an offer on my part, but nething was further from | my intention, and Icould not have offered anything had Udesired to, for I am not in a finar cial state to warrant an expenditure | “I was never more astonished in my life than when 1 learned from Mr. Bar- I had offered him a consideration for a | position,” President Barrington of the board, who had Mrs, Young’s name placed on the list of evening substitutes to be e ected, said that he had done so at the solicitation of a newspaper proprietor, and that he was not acquainted with Mrs. Young until she | came to him with a letter of introductiou from that person. ‘I put ber on the list because I thourht ber qualifications suflicient,” said Mr. Barrington, “and because I was asked to do 0 by particular friends, who assured me that she was a deserving, proper per- son, and that it was in reality an act of charity to help her. “Hsmmond some times says thingsina quick, abrupt way that is sirange to most people. I was very much astonished when he <tated that Mrs. Young had offered him a consideration to get the place, and with- drew her name at once, 30 that a further investigation could be made. Since then Director Hammond has modified his state- ments materiaily, and I think in the light of Mrs. Young’s statement that there is really very little in the matter.” Director Hammond positively declines to be interviewed about the matter, saying that he has nothing to affirm or deny, and that he does not care to get into a contro- versy of any kind. ALL WRITING EXPERTS. Jurors in the Jucob Z. Davis Will Con- test Developing a New Profession. The persistency of the writing experts in the Davis will contest has turned all the jurors into professors of penmanship, and if any of these gentlemen should lose ‘tbeir jobs by reason of the length of time consumed in tbe trial, they will have at hand as good a calling ‘as any man could wish, for it is whispered the witnesses who tell what they know about the shapes of leiters and the variations of manuscript from the same pen are very well paia for their services in the cause of justice. Mr. Hickox gave many reasons for his counclusion that the disputed document offered the will of the late Jacob Z. Dav:s is genuine. He asserts that it bears all the characteristics of the deceased, and he thinks it could not have been written by any other hand. The theory of the proponents of the will is that when Mr. Davis was having the box of ashes sealed up he put the will in the box instead of the receipt for the cremation of his wife’s remains, as had been his intention. Divorces Granted. Mary Neukom was granted a divorce yester- day from John Neukom on the ground of cruelty, | ed fashion the author intended. T THE CITY PLATHOTSES A Double Bill Presented at the Alcazar Theater. “The Defaulter” Well Staged at the Grand Opera- House. Continued Successes at the Other Theaters and Places of Amusement. All tastes found material to their liking at the Alcazar last evening with the excellent double bill, in which pathos, romauce and rattling farce were so attractively minged. Clay M. Greene's dainty little sketch ‘Ke- imed,” followed by Mortimer's sparkling Gloriana,” formed a bill thatcven the most exac'ing couid find naught to carp at. “Reclaimed” is one of those tiny bits, in which much is told or little, and_told in the most attractive and direct way, In it was cast Francis Cariyle as Jack Flood, a profligate— a character Gieene ought to paint—Hugo Tolznd, a young society beau, and disy Seicne Johvso', Constance Ellwoou, the heroine ot the little plav. All the actors piayed with that light touch and true sounding sentiment thatsimpathy for a role is sure o inspire, and the resuit was & chirming ensemble. ~Gloriana’” went with n go irom start fo finish. George Trader made an exceilent Fitz Jocelyn, and Adele Belgarde u iascinating Gloriana. These two carsied the weight of the piay on their very capaule shoulders and were admirably supported by Harry Bearimo, George Osbourne and May Buckley. Miss Bergie Harrison, the Alcazar Stock Company’s new soubiette, had a congenial role in “ICitty” aud had a most favorable reception. The double bill will hold the boards for the entire week. The Columbla. The Frawley Company at the Columbia The- ater last evening began the secend weck’s run of Mark Twain’s play entitled “Pudd’nhead Wilson.” The large audicnce present gave the management assurance that the interest in the play had not diminished. It will be presented every night this week, and give pluce next Mondsy evening to “Tne Case of Revellious Susaun.” Last night Theodore Hamilton, sustaining the character of David Wilson, Eleanor Mor- etto as Roxv, Gladvs Wallis as Rowy, and Thomas W. Ross as Caam bers, gave aa exhibi- tion of spirited acting. The players were re- called seyeral times. Theater parties from San Rafacl and other places will view the ex- cellent play Wednesday evening. There are veral eff:ctive scenes in the drama, and eanor Moretto has made quite a hit. Grand Opera-House. " a comedy-drama foundea on Gecrge Manyille Fenn's famous novel “This Man’s Wife,” made a most attractive Dbill at the Grand Opera-house last evening. The play called for the full strength of the who all founa congenial rolesin the gdrama. Mortimer Snow took care of the heir's part and deait with him In thet noble, higk-hand- Maud Edna Hnil was the convict's wlfe, and invested her rola with mucn pnthos. Anna Fiich, Julia Blanc and Leslie Morssco were intrusted with the comedy roles, and lent light and color to the more somb :r scenes. “The Dafaulter” is handsomely and effect- ively mounted. ' The Orpheum. The dancing of Papinta at the Orpheum is a wenaerful combination of light, color and graceful motion. Thestage isset with ten mir- rors,which refleet thedancing figure. The num- ber is & great success, as ihe dancing is equal to the best that Loie Fuller gave. he Orpheum wes crowded last evening to ob- serve Papinta and other stars introduced tor the entertainments this week. The popular comedians, Crawtord and Man- ning, the colored Congressmen-eiect, contrit- uted to the delight of iast night’s assemblage. The bili at the Orpheum is one that will hold the commendation of the patrons of this popuiar place of amusement. The Tivo I. Edwin Stevens as King Mumm of the ‘Isle of Champagne” began the third week of his reign at the Tivoll last nightin the presence of a host of loyal subjects. The music ot his court is alluring and the dialogue clever. The mountains, the scenery, the orchestra and the general sivle ot tne production reflect credit on the managementol the Tivoll. Mr. Stevens continues to gain in vopularity. The Tivoll mav have many other attractions in reserve, but the reign of King Mumm is so acceptable now to_the constituents of the realm that it would be folly to dethrone his Majesty. At the Chutes. Adgie and her performing lions will con- clude a most successiul season at the Chutes this week and will be seen for the last times every afternoon and evening. The perform- ances in the Chutes free theater are mest en- joyable, and_include Trobert, a wizard com- edian; the Wheeler sisters, voealisis; Kalli- cratus, a juggler, and Dan Meader's Royal Marionettes. The Olvmpia. The veriscope pictures of the Corbett-Fitz- simmons contest will be shown at the Olympia every afternoon end evening for the last times this week. At the request of a number of indies and gentlemen the fonrteenth round will be shown at a reduced rate of speed. so that the knockout biow will be seen more plainly. The hiouses are well filled. That Begus Brandy. The Merchants® Association is in receipt of a letter irom Seuator George C. Perkins relative to the bogus brandy that the Federal author- ities allowed to be sent out of this State under the name of “California brandy.” He says he will give the matter such attention as oppor- tunity affords. Congressman Marion de Vries also writes that he will continue to serve the association, and wiil callupon the department within a few days. Fresident Kerr believes that the hue and cry against the exportation of such stuff under the name of California has been suci that no atiempt wiil be made to repeat the Most Complexion Powders have a vulgar glare, but Pozzon1’s is a tru beautifier, whose effects are lasting. TOURISTS TENT [N THE VALLEY The Tide of Eastern Travel to the Yosemite Is Still Flowing. Heavy Shipments of Fruit to the East—Trains Massed at Sacramento. The Southern Pacific Receives Words of Praise From a Pastor of Salem, Mass. The tide of tourist travel to the Yosem- ite Valley is still as strong as ever. The ticket-office in the Grand Hotel is crowded with applicants, and as many passengers as can be cared for are booked daily. Since the rush began many tourists haye been turned away because of the limited accommodations. There has been no suf- fering or discomfort in the valley, so far as can be ascertained. Some of the tour- ists were obliged to sleep in tents, but they understood that nothing better than tents could be offered when they purchased their tickets. Many tourists went in by the Wawoda route. The railroads are yet doing a fine busi- ness in sending Eastern tourists home. The big return rush will not open until about the second day of August. The Eastern people, or very many of them, are prolonging their sojourn in Califor- nia, and many will not leave until August 9—the last day of grace for the return of the low rate. The heavy passenger traffic did not se- | rious'y interfere with the shipments of fruit. The orchard products which were forwarded on the European special dur- ing the greatest rush of incoming pas- senger trains arrived in London in good form. In fact this fruit reached its desti- nation in better condition than an earlier consignment. Much activity prevails at present in bauling fruit eastward. The trains are massed at Sacramento and forwarded from that point. The shipmentsshow a merked increase over similar traffic of last season. Rey. James L. Hill, D.D., Salem, Mass., trustee of the United Soclety of Christian Endeavor, bas written as follows to the passenger department of the Southern Pacific: *Pastors along the line of the Southern Pacitic Company bear heartiest testimony to the iact that no other railway ever treated them and their families with so much generosity. Theyv also show that the company bas been or would have been a better friend to their communities than these communities have been to themselves, and cite repeated instances. Even a railroad can be greatly remuner- ative ouly as it gives peopie what they want and turns the handle of things to- ward them. To make mouey 1itseli it must ¢nable others to make money, lfa reilroad can anticipate a great public need and aevelop it and shape it an abil- ity 18 proved which ought to be rewarded. It is requited in every other department of life. “The Southern Pacific hasobviously been a great factor in the development of this greatoccidental, paradisal State. Christian Endeavor young people rejoice in the vast amount ol employment which, in bard times, this railroad has been enabled to give toagreat army of men, and they wish prosperity to the Soutuern Pacific so that in this crisis in the industrial world, it may develop new lines and give wages 0 a greaier number of employes. “In all the annals of the church, no such an amount of money was ever paid down by young people to attend a religious con- vention as has just been done in Califor- nia. Ourreception has been roval, our welcome oceanic, our happiness complete. What each of us has received by way of inspiration and instruction, is to be multi- piied bv 40,000, as that was the number of pilgrims in California. The East and West are now bound together as never beiore, and tne chief tie is effecced by the Southern Pacific.” DR. ROTTANZI A LAWYER. He Will Argue His Own Case to Avoid Being Ousted From Office.
